# CASE STUDY 1

## Profitability of Mining Alephium using 20 Iceriver AL3 Miners (15 TH/s)

#### **1. Miner Setup and Energy Considerations**

**Miner Specifications:**

* **Miner Model**: Iceriver AL3
* **Hash Rate per Miner**: 15 TH/s
* **Number of Miners**: 20
* **Power Consumption per Miner**: 3,500 watts (3.5 kW)
* **Total Power Consumption**: 70 kW (for 20 miners)

#### **2. Alephium Mining Output**

Based on the current performance of Iceriver AL3 miners, each miner can mine **44.5 Alephium (ALPH) per day**​.  For 20 miners, the daily and monthly outputs are calculated as follows:

* **Daily Alephium Output for 20 Miners**:

#### **3. Current Profit Estimation (September 2024)**

The current price of Alephium is **$1.59**. Based on this price, the profit calculation is:
